Green Line Construction to Temporarily Impact Three Light Rail Stations

Friday, July 29 until Monday, August 1

During the weekend of July 29, 2011, the Sacramento Regional Transit District (RT) will temporarily close three Gold Line light rail stations to perform construction work for the Green Line to the River District light rail extension.

 

In order to minimize disruptions for passengers and surrounding businesses in downtown Sacramento, traffic detours will start at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 29 and continue until 6 a.m. on Monday, August 1.  This work will require the closure of the 8th & K, Sacramento Valley Station and 7th & I/County Center light rail stations from 7 p.m. on Friday, July 29 through 4 a.m. on Monday, August 1.

 

As an alternative, shuttle buses will transport Gold Line passengers to and from the Sacramento Valley Station, and will serve bus stops at 7th and K streets, and 8th and K streets.

 

During construction, Gold Line light rail trains will continue to serve the 8th & Capitol Station. Trains will continue north to temporarily serve the St. Rose of Lima Park (9th & K) Station, return to the St. Rose of Lima Park (7th & K) Station, and then resume regular service.

 

In addition, street closures will take place from 6 p.m. on Friday, July 29 until 6 a.m. on Monday, August 1 at:

• The intersection of 8th Street and H Street

• H Street between 7th Street and 9th Street

The Green Line to the River District is the first phase of the Green Line to the Airport light rail extension project.  The Green Line to the River District will extend light rail 1.1 miles north to 7th Street and Richards Boulevard at the Township 9 development.
